"He Will Rape Them With His Mouth"

It's the funniest two minutes in television:

And yes, I know exactly with "schmuck" means, in "Jewish."

Morning Glow's commentary on what we've just seen:

Okay, in order: Letterman never joked about rape, the joke was aimed at 18-year-old Bristol, it was a baseball game, the language is Yiddish not Jewish, Letterman has a son out of wedlock, I suppose it’s possible his wife is a slut although I don’t know for sure, America’s periods of isolationism have historically led to wars the country was ill-prepared for, and mouth-rape is somewhat less of a threat to your children than teaching them ironclad certitude at protests against late-night television shows.

(Granted, this is probably the highlights of the crazy, and it’s possible that there were thoughtful and well-spoken people at the rally, but c’mon people. Letterman caved and apologized, and Palin even accepted the apology. If the mother of the alleged mouth-rape victim can let it go, maybe you should, too.)
